Turkey Creek Ranch - Newcastle, Nebraska

 Comet Shower



While staying at Union Grove, we took a side trip into Sioux City, Iowa. We visited the Art Center where we saw this very cool installation. Click on the link above to see the Comet Shower.

Turkey Creek Ranch boasts an obstacle course.  If you click on the link, you can watch Ari ride Mercutio through the obstacle course. I rode him through the obstacle course as well to try and build his confidence on the trail a bit and settle him down.


Turkey Creek Ranch has a small office where guests can check in as well as shop for souvenirs.

There are a lot of corrals available. They are all uncovered, 10' x 10'. Lots of shade from the trees.



There is a nice picnic pavilion available as well.


Campsites were close together and the place was crowded with equestrians travelling through from Minnesota and Wisconsin on the way to their winter stops.
By Sunday, we were one of three campers left.


Ari getting ready to ride. There are loads of trails, all well maintained and well marked. I did a short ride as I would rather have a short, successful ride where my horse stays calm, then push my luck.
Ari went out on a solo ride and also rode with one of the other camping couples.

We enjoyed our stay here quite a bit. We had electric and water hook-up. No RV dump or sewer hook-up. We stopped at Little Sioux Park on our way to the next campground to empty our tanks.
Our Winegard worked fine here.
It is a couple of miles of dirt road getting into the campground and I wouldn't recommend trying it when it is too wet or muddy.
Lots of flies at this campground which were driving both of us nuts.
